Skanska USA Building Inc., a national construction firm, has signed a $30.8 million deal to build a new complex at Fort George G. Meade.

The contract between Skanska USA and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers calls for the construction of a 75,000 square-foot headquarters building for the United States Army’s Asymmetric Warfare Group. Skanska will also construct a 2,700 square-foot visitor control center and a 7,000 square-foot vehicle maintenance and fabrication facility. The U.S. Army has the option to select the company to build a 15,000 square-foot building for the Department of Public Works one mile away from the new Asymmetric Warfare Group complex.

The project also includes the demolition of the current Asymmetric Warfare Group complex located on the base. The company broke ground on the project on Jan. 30. Construction is scheduled to be completed by 2015.

“It’s always exciting to begin a new project, but to be able to work on something that will help advance the U.S. military’s operations on our homeland makes the project all the more rewarding,” Bill Brennan, co-chief operating officer for Skanska USA Building’s Greater Washington D.C. office, said in a statement.
